New Sync Probe Device Brings Advanced Precision Time Protocol Delivery and
Assurance to Any Network
ADVA Optical Networking today launched
the FSP 150SP, a sync probe device that radically simplifies the
deployment and
maintenance of 4G mobile networks. Featuring a Precision Time Protocol
(PTP)
clock probe that simultaneously supports Synchronous Ethernet and IEEE
1588v2,
and a built-in GPS receiver, the FSP 150SP provides time
synchronization and
assurance across multi-vendor mobile backhaul infrastructures.
This
comprehensive capability enables backhaul service providers to
offer
synchronization as a service, something that has not been possible before.
"As the industry continues to drive towards LTE and an Evolved Packet
Core,
precise timing is a critical stumbling block," said Christoph Glingener,
CTO,
ADVA Optical Networking. "Service providers need to do more than simply
bring
fiber to the cell tower; they also need to deliver precise
time-of-day
information for phase alignment between adjacent base stations. This
is the
primary goal of our FSP 150 platform and its new member, the FSP 150SP.
For the
first time, backhaul service providers will be able to deliver precise
timing
information over a multi-vendor Carrier Ethernet infrastructure. Legacy
T1/E1
solutions can be decommissioned and GPS receivers are no longer needed at
every
base station. Our Syncjack™ functionality and the corresponding
end-to-end
management will unlock substantial new revenue opportunities for
value-added
mobile backhaul services."
The FSP 150SP forms an integral part of the FSP 150 family, an
intelligent
Ethernet access, backhaul and aggregation solution supporting
Syncjack™
timing distribution and assurance. The new family member now brings
Syncjack™
technology to every node in a network, ensuring comprehensive
end-to-end
management, monitoring and testing. Whether a greenfield installation,
or an
older first generation Carrier Ethernet network, all can now be
instantly
upgraded to enable new revenue from delivery of SLA-based
synchronization
services with both PTP and SyncE network monitoring and performance
analysis.
Precise clock accuracy measurements and enhanced statistics can be gathered
with
external, internal and GPS references, or even when no synchronization
reference
is available.
"The need to evolve from synchronization based on E1s to new and
alternative
synchronization standards is common to all mobile operators evolving
their
packet backhaul networks," said Patrick Donegan, senior analyst, Heavy
Reading.
"While some want to manage this new capability entirely themselves, many
mobile
operators want to outsource some or all of that to their wholesale
backhaul
providers. A solution that supports all the major synchronization
standards,
complete with service assurance that the synchronization service is
meeting SLA
requirements, is an important contribution to the continued cost and
performance
optimization of mobile backhaul networks world-wide."
